Its Purpose and 
Scope 




A BOOK that runs to its Fifth Edition is no experiment. 
Books die when their usefulness has passed ; therefore so 
long as the public demand new editions it is certain that a 
book is doing reasonably well its work, and performing some real 
service to the public. 

The Columbia Book now appears in its Fifth Edition, and 
though its work is only the humble one of spreading the pleasant 
and gentle art of knitting, it has earned its long life by doing that 
work well. People are still asking for it, both people who have yet 
to learn the many uses of yarns, and people who have used them 
for years ; the one to begin the art, the other to better practise it. 
The book is more than a manual of knitting. For the beginner it 
explains the elementary processes of knitting and crochetting, but it 
also contains the best creations in yarns, new and old ; suggestions 
of pleasant things to make that were first made yesterday, as well 
as the time-honored things that our grandmothers made before us, 
and that our granddaughters after us will still make. 

Any woman need only follow the directions in this book intelli- 
gently to be successful in the art. The directions are accurate and 
clear, and all of them have been tested — that is, some person 
unknown to the writer, has worked out successfully from the direc- 
tions every article described before the directions were thought 
ready for publication. As a further help to the worker, every 
article is also illustrated, 

In this Edition the book is again enlarged and improved, and 
its usefulness increased.

On the Choice of a Yarn 



(1/ 



THE beauty of the articles in this book comes of two things — 
hand work, and a fine yarn. A hand worker, with proper 
materials, will give her work a delicacy, a fineness of finish, 
a character that no machine-made work ever possesses. But she 
must look to her yarns to do it. She must find a lofty, elastic, even 
thread, soft and thin to the touch, made of a wool sensitive to the 
slightest gradation of shade and color. The Columbia Yarns 
were used in making all the articles in this book, and they meet the 
requirements. With them work in yarns becomes an art, and good 
results are easier and surer. 

Stamped by public opinion as the best among yarns recognized 
as good, Columbia Yarns cost in the beginning a trifle more than 
some others— otherwise they could not be what they are. In the 
end they are the cheapest of all. For the cheapness of a yarn is 
determined not alone by what you pay for a hank of it, but also by 
what the hank will do in quality, and quantity of work. The coarse, 
unelastic thread of a common yarn will not reach as far as a yarn of 
a finer texture, and besides, the Columbia Yarns contain, pound 
for pound, more yards than common grades. In the finished piece 
of knitting Columbia Yarns mean not only quality but economy. 

The brilliancy and shading in Columbia Yarns is unsurpassed. 
There are no flat, crude, dead colors among them, partly because 
of the way they are dyed, and partly because of the quality of their 
thread. A fine wool receives a color and retains the brilliancy of 
it, where an inferior wool dyes into a lifeless, displeasing shade. 

Blacks in Columbia Yarns are guaranteed fast. 

In preparing for your work, therefore, you should get Columbia 
Yarns. They are standard, even in quality, and when you get to 
using them you find they demand less of your patience because they 
do not vary from package to package. They are sold by the best 
retail stores throughout the country, with but few exceptions. 
Should your dealer not handle them, write to us and we will refer 
you to the nearest store that handles the complete assortment.

KNITTING 



^ 




TO CAST ON STITCHES 

Make a loop in the yarn, and put it on 
the left-hand needle. Slip the right-hand 
needle into 
the loop, 
put the 
}• a r n a - 
round the 
point of the 



needle, draw it through and slip that loop on the left- 
hand needle. Put the right-hand needle then into the 
2d loop, and repeat until you have the required num- 
ber of stitches. 




TO KNIT PLAIN 





Having the number of stitches required on the left-hand needle, put the right-hand 
needle into the ist slilch. Put the yarn over, and take it up on the right-hand needle. 
Repeat until all the stitches are on the right-hand needle. 



TO PURL 

Bring the yarn in front of the right-hand 
needle, which should take up the stitch on the 
left-hand needle, entering at the right side of 
the yarn in front. Throw the yarn around at the 
back of the needle as it passes in the stitch, catch 
it in, and take it off. 

Be careful always to carry the yarn back of 
the needle after a purled stitch before knitting a 
plain stitch.

EXPLANATION OF THE TERMS USED IN THIS BOOK. 




TO SLIP A STITCH 

Take the stitch from the left-hand to the 
right-hand needle without knitting it. 



TO MAKE A STITCH 

Bring the yarn in front of the needle (as in purling) and knit plain. 

TO MAKE A STITCH WHEN PURLING 



The yarn being already in front of the 
needle, must also be passed around the needle. 



TO NARROW 

Knit 2 stitches together, as i. 





TO MAKE A TWIST STITCH 

Like plain knitting, except that the 
needle must be put in the back of the stitch. 
Then knit as usual. 

TO SLIP AND BIND 

Slip the stitch from the left-hand to the 
right-hand needle without knitting. Knit 
the next stitch, then pass the slipped stitch 
over the knitted one. 

Note: Sometimes the slipped stitch is passed over 2. and even over 3 stitches 
knitted together, where it is necessary to decrease the number of stitches. 



TO BIND OFF 

Slip I stitch, knit the next stitch ; with 
the left-hand needle draw the slipped stitch 
over the knitted stitch. Continue, slipping the 
1st stitch over the last knitted stitch until there 
is but I left on the needle. Cut yarn and draw 
through this last stitch.

DIRECTIONS FOR WASHING KNIT GARMENTS 
TO AVOID SHRINKING 

1. .Make warm Soap Suds (not much soap). Proper heat for the suds is just 
uncomfortably hot for the hands, but so as not to scald. 

2. The washing and rinsing should all be done in warm — not hot — water. 

3. L'se pure soap only ; no chemicals or washing powders. 

4. Do not rub soap on the garment. Put the garment through the wringer and 
back in the suds 3 or 4 times. Rinse out in clear water, rvry llioroiigltly. 

5. Wash carefully, rubbing as little as possible, and iici'cr on a ^casliboard. 

6. Let the Suds and IFriiigcr do the tivr/,-. 

7. Stretch the garments lengthwise and dry quickly in the oi)en air.

Make a chain of 75 stitches. 

First Row — I plain crochet stitch in chain, then take up next stitch on chain. 
Keep I stitch on needle and crochet 3 chain stitches, the 4th stitch taken through 
both stitches. (This forms the raised stitch or popcorn.) After the popcorn stitch, 
make a Sg. C, then a popcorn, and continue in like manner to the end of chain, making 
^7 popcorns in the length of Afghan. 

Second Row. — Commence with 2 Sg. C stitches, take needle through both stitches 
so that the popcorn will come in between those of the ist row, and continue in a like 
manner as in the ist row, putting i Sg. C between each popcorn through the whole 
Afghan. 

You must make popcorn come in between those of the row you have just finished.

of popcorn stitch between them, and edge with chain of Pink and White. Take up stitch 
in centre of star and crochet 5 stitches with White, then take up centre of next star 
and crochet 5 stitches of Pink, (this makes it necessary to have both colors going at the 
same time). In taking up the centre of the 3d star, cross the White over the Pink, 
and continue in like manner all around the Afghan.

1 Bone Crochet Hook, No. 4 



INSTRUCTIONS 



The hook used in making this stitch must be quite large. Two colors are usually 
employed — we used Pink and White for the sample for illustration. 

First Row — Make a long chain of White wool ; in the 4th stitch from the 
hook make 8 treble crochets * skip 3 chain, make i Sg. C in the next stitch ; skip 3 
chain, make 8 trebles in the 4th stitch and repeat from* until the Afghan is wide enough. 

Turn. 

Second Row — ^lake 8 trebles in the same stitch as the last 8; also make a 
Sg. C in the corresponding one underneath. Repeat to the end of the row and break 
off the wool. Turn the work and fasten on the Pink wool in the top of the ist wheel. 

Third Row — Make chains of 7 stitches between the White wheels, fastening the 
chains with a Sg. C between the 4th and 5th trebles in each wheel. 

Turn. 

Fourth Row — In the 4th chain-stitch of the chain last made, make 4 trebles 
and fasten the last one in the Sg. C between the White wheels ; make 4 more trebles in 
the same chain-stitch, and fasten in the Sg. C at the top of White wheel. Proceed_ in 
this manner across the work. There will be i wheel less at each end in every Pink 
row than the number in the White row, which will produce the effect of a lining. 

Turn. 

Fifth Row — ^Nlake 8 trebles in every 4th or same chain-stitch used before; 
I Sg. C in every Sg. C, the same as in the 2d row. Break off the wool at the end of the 
row, and join the White again at this point. 

Sixth Row — Holding the Pink toward you make 9 chain, fastening with Sg. C 
between the 4th and 5th trebles of the ist Pink wheel; 7 chain between the other wheels, 
fastening with a Sg. C in the top of the wheels, and make chain at the end so as to 
have the same number of White wheels as in the ist row of them. 

Turn. 

Seventh Row — Make 4 trebles in the 5th chain-stitch, and fasten the last one 
in the top of the ist White wheel. 4 trebles in the same chain-stitch and fasten at top 
of Pink wheel, carefully keeping the White yarn on one side of the work and the Pink 
on the other. Repeat across the row ; make the Afghan about a yard long. 

Finish with a border or with fringe or tassels. Any colors preferred may be 
combined; but Pink and White, or Blue and White are the colors usually selected.

INSTRUCTIONS 

Chain 7, and join in ring. Do not have the chain too loose. 

First Round — 3 chain to stand as treble, i treble in ring'-^ i chain, i treble in ring, 
and repeat from* until there are 15 treble, not reckoning the chain, i chain, slip stitch 
into hole made by chain at beginning. There will be 16 spaces. 

Second Round — 3 chain, i treble under chain in next hole, i chain, i treble in same 
hole,* I chain, i treble into next hole, i chain, i treble into next hole again, i chain, 
I treble into same hole, and repeat from* ; the round ends i chain, slip stitch into hole 
made by 3 chain at beginning. 8 increases with 2 holes between. 

Third Round. — Chain 3 as usual, i treble in next hole, i chain, i treble in same 
hole,* I chain, i treble in next, and repeat from* until you have worked i treble into 
the next increase in previous round ; make i chain, i treble into same hole, and repeat 
from 1st* in 3d round to end of round. There will be 3 holes between increases. 
Work every round on the same principle as you have worked the 3d, getting an extra 
hole between increases in each succeeding round. Thus, in the 4th round, there will 
be 4 holes between increases, in the 5th, 5 holes betweeen increases, and so on. When 
15 or 21 rounds are done, according to the depth desired, begin the border. 

Note — The idea is that the centre of the shawl forms a sort of a yoke to come nicely to the 
edge of the shoulders, and with this end in view it is often worked a little closer than the lighter 
border, even if the same needle is used throughout. Taste will dictate style, and both centre and 
border can be made of any depth wished, as will be seen from the instructions. 

BORDER.— First Round — Make 2 double crochet under chain in every space. 

Second Round — 3 chain, i treble, i chain, 2 treble, all under top loops of ist 
stitch* miss i stitch, then 2 treble, i chain, 2 treble, all under the loops of next stitch, 
repeat from* to end of round; join last shell to first. 

Third Round — Slip stitch under the top loop of the next treble into the hole in 
middle of ist shell in previous round, then 3 chain, i treble, i chain, 2 treble, all into 
hole in ist shell (this ist shell is the one you have just slip stitched into the middle 
of,)* 2 treble, i chain, 2 treble, all into the middle of next shell, and repeat from* to 
end of round; join as before; slip stitch to middle of ist shell. 

Fourth Round — 3 chain, 2 treble, i chain, 3 treble, in hole in ist shell.* 3 treble, 
I chain, 3 treble in hole in next shell, repeat froin* to end, join as before, and slip 
stitch to middle of ist shell. Repeat the 4th round continuously, watching the work 
as you go on, to see that it does not draw in at all. If at any time, it seems to 
need widening, e'ther use a larger hook and work more loosely, or lay the work on the 
table, and mark 8 soaces in the round as nearly as possible above the increases in the 
centre portion, and at each of these spaces when working the next round, put an in- 
crease by working 2 treble, i chain. 2 treble, i chain. 2 treble, all into the i shell. 
This gives spaces for 2 shells in next round. When the shawl is deep enough, which 
it probably will be in from 12 to 18 rounds, the final round is a scallop. It can be 
widened oftener than the 8 spaces if needed. See note. 

Scallop Round. — *Double crochet between the shell just worked and the next, g 
treble in middle of next shell, and repeat from* all around. 

XoTE — If 9 treble are not enough, or you wish any more fanciful scallop, it is easy to alter the 
one given. The main thing is to keep the work pretty. It must be well rounded and not drawn in 
the least at the edge, and is better a little full than otherwise. Increasings can be made without 
counting so long as proper effect is obtained, as often as required. Many workers prefer to do all 
shaping by changing to larger hooks as the work progresses. But care will enable any one to get a 
good result.

I Long Bone Crochet Hook, No. 4 

INSTRUCTIONS 

LINING. — Make a chain of 30 stitches 
and turn. 

First Row — Skip 6 stitches in the chain, 
I long D C in each of the next 24 stitches. 

Continue by making 7 more rows Hke 
the one just described, and break the thread. 
Begin at the side at the top of 2d row, 
make a chain stitch, and i long D C in 
the seam stitch, then 3 over the side of every 
D C until the 8th row is reached, then 5 
in the corner in every D C underneath, then 
5 in the opposite corner ; then work down the 
other side to the top of the 2d row of D C. 
Begin at the bottom of the lining and 
work 4 rows back and forth to form front - 

and sides. This completes the lining. 

OLITSIDE. — Begin at the bottom and make a chain about 14 inches in length. 
To get the puff effect make the puffs thus : 

3 D C in the 5th stitch (or the 6th stitch counting the one on the hook), 2 
chain, i S C in the next stitch, skip 3 stitches, making a puff in the next stitch, and 
repeat until there are 20 puffs. 

Next row make i Sg. C in the top of the stitch just before the chain, 2 D C over 
the 2 chain, and repeat across the row. 

In the next row make the puffs in the single crochet. 

Make 2 more rows, then in the 3d row of puffs (after making 6 puffs) widen 
by making an extra puff just after the one in the Sg. C. ^lake 8 puffs, then widen as 
before. 

In the 5th row of puffs widen in the same way, then work plain puffs and inter- 
mediate rows until there are 12 rows of puffs, and end with the plain rows, then break 
the wool. Skip 9 puffs from the edge, holding the right side towards you, and make 6 
puffs, which will leave 9 at the other side; work back and forth on the 6 puffs until 
you have 11 rows of puffs. 

Crochet each edge of the central portion to the adjoining edge of side portion, 
thus forming top of Hood. 

CAPE. — Begin at the bottom of Hood and make 20 puffs across. In the next row 
of puffs widen in the centre and at the end ; next row widen at the beginning and end, 
next row widen in the centre only, and in the last row make plain puffs without widen- 
ing. Always widen in the puff rows, and be sure to make all the puffs on the same side. 

To finish off the front of Hood make small scallops, 2 chain, 3 D C rather loose, 
and further down add a Sg. C (far enough from the starting point of scallop). This 
will cause the scallops to lay flat. 

To finish the cape make the scallops 2 D C, 3 chain, i slip stitch in the top of the 
last D C to form a purl, 2 D C, i purl, 2 D C, i purl, i D C. all in the same place, catch 
down with i Sg. C so the scallop will lay flat, and work around the collar, making the 
scallops flat at the corners as well as along the sides and lower edge. 

Fasten a ribbon bow at the centre of the back where the collar joins the Hood, 
and ribbon at the front for tying string. 

Finish by making at the top a band of loop trimming, made thus: 7 chain, use 
the wool double, skip 2 stitches of chain, put hook through the next one, wind the 
wool over the fingers 3 times and draw through the stitch, repeat same in the next 4 
stitches, work back in Afghan style, the whole drawn through the loop and the loop 
made by 3 wind overs and repeat to the end of row. Continue to work back and forth 
as above until you have 5 clusters of loops in each row, and until you have 17 rows. 
Sew the Hood and finish with a ribbon bow at the top of the left side.

of I, as you work back. Work 9 rows plain. 

Twenty-sixth Row — Take up 13 loops. Work a Sg. C on each of the next 18 
stitches. Take up the rest of the row. W B to the first single, make 17 chain; 
W B the rest. These chains form the opening for the pocket.

Sixty-third Row — Leave 5 at the end unraised. 

Sixty-fourth Row — Take up the 2d and 3d loops together to decrease, also the 2 
last loops. 5 rows decreasing: at the end of each row. 

Seventieth Row — Plain. 

Seventy-first Row — Decrease at the end. 6 rows plain. 

Seventy-eighth Row — Decrease in commencing. 3 rows plain. 

NECK. — Eighty-second Row — Decrease by working the 2 first together. Increase 
I at the end. 6 rows, decreasing each row in commencing. 

Eighty-ninth Row — Decrease at the beginning ; increase at the end. 3 rows, de- 
creasing each row in commencing. 

Ninety-third Row — Decrease in commencing ; increase at the end. i row plain. 

Ninety-fifth Row — Like the 93d row. i row plain. 

Repeat these 2 rows 4 times. Keep the right-hand side plain ; leave the last 6 
unraised. Continue the rows, leaving 4 more unraised each row, until there are only 
4 left ; work these. A row of Sg. C to the end of each successive little row. 

SECOND FRONT. — Work like the first, reversing all the decreasings and in- 
creasings thus : Make the chain, take up all the stitches, W B 4 only ; take these up 
again, W B 8, and so on, just reversing the directions in each row. 

BORDER. — On the left side piece make the buttonholes, as men's clothes always 
button from the left over to the right. Work a row of D C around the outside edge of 
the work, 3 stitches in the corner, work around the neck. 

Second Row — Take up the edges of the stitch in the last row ; take up each stitch 
with the wool before the loop, and the needle put in at the back of the loop. This is 
making the purl crochet on 2 rows alike, instead of right and wrong side. Work 3 at 
the corner of the neck and bottom of vest. 

Third Row— D C. 

Fourth Row — Same as 2d row. *Work to the 2d stitch after the corner of the 
neck, 3 chain, miss 3 D C, 10 D C* Repeat from * to * 6 times, then D C as before. 
3 more rows of D C and fasten off. 

POCKET. — Work a D C on the chain, cast on above the pocket-hole, and into 
the loop on each side ; 4 rows of D C on this and fasten oflf. With 6 strands of the 
Filoselle, embroider the fronts. Bring up the rug needle in the bottom of the 3d loop 
in the 4th little row ; put the needle in at the top of the loop to the right, bring it out 
at the top of the loop to the left, then insert it again where you first brought it up. Work 
in this way on every 5th stitch ; pass 2 rows, work another row on the 3d row just be- 
tween the 2 last little leaves, and so on over the whole. 

The fronts should be made up by a tailor to fit the person for whom the vest is 
intended. This we advise the more strongly as the work in making them up is very 
considerable.

Having drawn the shape of the vest on the canvas, work willi wool as follows : 
Beginning at the right hand corner, work a long, upright stitch covering six threads of 
the canvas. In succession v/ork four more similar stitches, each stitch being begun one 
thread higher from the bottom, and extending one thread higher at the top. After this 
5th stitch reverse the next four stitches, by beginning each of them one thread lower on 
the canvas, each stitch covering six threads as before. From this point it will always 
be found that the fourth stitch makes the point of the Vandyke upwards and downwards. 
Each row of wool Vandykes is separated by a narrow vandykc in Filoselle, for 
which you leave two threads of canvas between the wool Vandykes. Work the Filoselle 
in these spaces after the wool is completed, as it looks fresher and brighter if put in 
last.

This well known stitch is one of the best for men's vest, and the snnplest method 
is to work a straight piece of tricot of the required length and width. This should be 
afterwards cut and shaped by a tailor, who makes the proi'cr incisions for the pockets. 

^lake a chain of 63 (more or less according to the width required, but this is a 
good average number). Proceed to work in tricot two pieces the required size. When 
these are finished work in Filoselle, with enil)roidery needle, a twisted stitch over the 
upright bars, passing the needle in a slanting direction from right to left luuler each bar. 

N. Pi. — An experienced worker may jirefer to cut out a vest pattern of the 
required size in thick brown paper, .and >hape her work to it by increasing and decreasing 
in the ordinary way. This will take rather less wool,

Cast 60 stitches on 3 needles and knit 60 rounds in ribbed knitting, 2 stitches 
plain and 2 purled. 

Follow with 70 rounds of plain knitting for the hand. 

In the 3d round of the 70 begin to widen for the thumb gore. To begin, widen 
at both sides of the first 2 stitches, and then 5 times thereafter, with intervals of 2 
rounds in a line above the previous widenings. For the widenings, having knitted the 
first 2 stitches mentioned, knit a stitch crossed out of the succeeding horizontal mesh. 
(For cross knitting insert the needle downward at the back instead of upward at the 
front.) Purl the following stitch, then having knitted the round, purl the stitch that 
precedes the 2 named and knit i crossed out of the horizontal mesh succeeding it ; at 
each successive round the number of stitches between the widenings will naturally be 
increased. After the last widening round (the i8th round) knit 2 more rounds, then 
take the stitches of the thumb gore on separate needles and knit 24 rounds for the 
thumb, in the last 4 of which point it. 

Then continue the hand. 

In the 1st round out of the mesh connecting the thumb stitches, knit 2 stitches 
crossed. In the following round, knit 2 stitches together on both sides of these 2 
stitches, and in the succeeding round, knit each one of these stitches together with the 
one beside it, thus forming a gusset. 

The hand is narrowed in the last 11 rounds. In the first of these knit 2 stitches 
together at both sides of the first stitch, and at both sides of the middle stitch, then 
narrowing before the stitch to be knit plain, and thereafter in every following 2d round 
narrow in the same manner, then in last round, divide the stitches into halves and cast 
0&, knitting the stitches of both halves together in pairs.

Cast on 35 stitches, knit back and forth for each row and make 6 rows, widening 
at the back by i stitch, and widening at the front by 2 stitches in every row, so that in 
the row there will be 41 stitches. In widening see that no openings will result. 

Two methods may be used. The first is as follows : — 

Put the needle through a stitch in the ordinary manner, throw the thread around 
it twice, and then knit the stitch ofif in the regular way, but keep the 2 "thrown-over" 
threads on the needle to make the 2 new stitches required. In knitting the 2 new 
stitches knit the ist in the regular way, and the 2d through the back. 

The other method is to knit through the front stitch in the usual way, but do not 
slip it off the needle. 

Now knit through the back of the same stitch and slip it off. The plain knitting 
first made comes under the sole of the foot. 

To make the upper part of foot after the 6 rows plain are made : Begin the 
/th as follows : Knit 2, purl 2, knit 2. purl 2, and repeat across the row until there are 
22 blocks, widening by 2 stitches at the front edge or toe of the sock, turn. 

Eighth Row — Purl 4, knit 2, purl 2, knit 2. Repeat across the row. These 2 
rows of knitting form one complete row of blocks.

Ninth Row— Purl 2, knit 2, purl 2, knit 2. Repeat across the row, widening 
as before. 

Tenth Row — *Knit 4, purl 2, knit 2 and repeat from * to end of row. This com- 
pletes the 2d row of blocks. 

Now make 3 more rows of blocks widening in the same order as before. Then 
4 rows more without widening, by i stitch at the front edge. 

To make the instep and toe pass 36 stitches, begin at the back on another needle, 
then make 9 rows of blocks, widening at the toe edge in every row, by 2 stitches. 
Regulate the widening — the basket effect of blocks will not be disturbed. This forms 
one-half the foot. Knit the other half of the toe and instep 8 rows more to correspond 
with the first half, narrowing instead of widening at the last row. Cast on 36 stitches 
and make the remainder of the foot to correspond with the other side. Double the 
foot together and join it at the back and along the sole, sewing the toe point in the 
angle under it. 

Now pick up all the stitches around the top of the foot portion that are already 
on the needle, and then knit back and forth 6 times, making 3 rows and bind off. 

For the top cast on 79 stitches, purl once across and knit back plain. 

Third Row — Purl 2 separately, then purl 3 together, purl 3, purl 3 together, and 
repeat across the row until within 2 stitches of the end, then purl 2 stitches separately. 

Fourth Row — Knit i, throw over, knit 3. throw over, knit i, throw over, knit 3, 
and repeat across the row. 

Repeat 3d and 4th rows until the top is 21 holes deep, and make last row like 
the 4th. 

Now across 4 ribs at each side, knit plain, and between the plain sections work 
the same as 3d row to show the ribs. Knit plain again at each side, working between 
the same as in the 4th row. 

Fifth Row — Purl 2, throw over twice, purl 2 together, and repeat to end of the 
plain section. Make open-work between. 

Sixth Row — Knit plain at sides, dropping every 2d put-over thread. Make 
open-work between next 2 ribs, knit plain, also knit plain across the next row of 
open-work and the next rib at each side. This will leave 4 rows of open-work and ribs 
at the centre of the needle. 

Now bind off 30 stitches, then knit across in open-work style until there are 30 
stitches left on the needle. Join the yarn and knit the remainder of the instep in open- 
work, so that there will be 32 holes from the top of the sock to the lower edge of the 
instep. Bind off. 

Now sew together at the back and join the lower edge to front portion on the in- 
side where the plain knitting around the top begins. Run a cord and tassel through 
the plain portion at the instep.

back, knit 48 stitches, knit back. This will make 6 ridges at one side of the work before 
you have knit once entirely across, and they are made to lengthen the back portion 
of this section. Now knit back and forth entirely across until there are 43 ridges at 
the front edge of the section. Next knit 15 ridges, narrowing once to the beginning 
every time across. There should be 50 stitches on the needle. To make the fancy por- 
tion knit 2, purl 2, and repeat until you have 19 rows. To make the braid and re- 
mainder of section : 

First Row — Knit 4, purl 3, knit 9, purl 3, knit 12, purl 3, knit 9, purl 3, knit 4.

Fifth Row — Knit 4, * purl 3, take another needle and knit 3 very loosely on to the 
work. Now knit 3 stitches with the ist (or right-hand needle). Place the extra 
needle with its 3 stitches back of the ist needle, then knit 3 more with the ist needle, 
and with the same needle knit ofif the 3 stitches on the extra needle to form the 
twist of the braid. *Now purl 3, knit 12, purl 3 and repeat from * to * between the

For the instep knit 31 stitches slip the remaining 19 on to another needle, knit 
back 12 stitches on the 31 and leave the remaining 19 on the ist needle. Knit the 12 
stitches now on the centre needle, back and forth until there are 10 ridges. Knit 3 more 
ridges, narrowing 2, making 10 stitches across the toe. Now with the needles left at the 
right side of the work, pick up the stitches at the adjoining side of the instep portion 
and knit across the toe, then with the needle at the other side of the work pick up 15 
stitches along the adjoining side of the instep portion and knit them off. Knit back and 
forth until there are 6 ridges below the instep portion, and bind off. Knit a strip 5 
stitches wide and 15 ridges long, and sew it to the lower edge of the foot portion.

Cast 114 stitches on 4 needles, and work with the 5th needle as follows: Knit in 
rib style for 47 rounds, by purling 2 and knitting 2. 

In the 48th round begin the gore, which covers the knee. Knit off the ist 26 
stitches, and knit them separately back and forth, purling 2 and knitting 2. 

After knitting 2 rows in this manner, change the pattern by knitting the stitches 
that were purled and purling the ones that were knit, thus forming a small square. 

In knitting this gore, one stitch is taken from the needle at each side of the 26 
stitches each time across after the ist row. This widens the gore, then it is knit as 
described above. 

Continue taking stitch from the needles until there are only 42 left of the original 
ribbed portion. This brings the gore to the points at the side and completes the upper 
half of the knee cap. 

Now work the lower half of the gore separately, narrowing i at the end of each 
row until only 26 stitches are left. Now take up 23 stitches at each side of these 26 
stitches along the selvedge of the gore. This will bring you to the side of the gore. 

Then divide the stitches as evenly as possible on the 4 needles and work in 
rib style the same as top, 47 rounds, being careful to continue the ribs of the upper 
portion. 

Finish the knee cap with a border of plain crochet.

1 Bone Crochet Hook, 8 inch, No. 3 
1 dozen Bells for the Strap 



Make 5 chains and close them with a single stitch. 

Crochet 10 single stitches into the ring just made, then crochet around those 10 
stitches, picking up the lower half of each stitch (always working on the wrong side of 
the stitch), until you have the lines 23^ yards long, or whatever length desired. 

Finish each end with a large tassel. The strap with the bells is made with 8 
chains, take up each chain with a Sg. C, then crochet back and forth on the Sg. C, 
always picking up the back stitch (which forms a rib), until you have the strap 10 
inches long. Sew each end of the strap around the lines and trim with bells. 

Note. — To make a firmer rein run a cotton rope through the reins when finished.

The "COLUMBIA YARNS'* Label 




We illustrate on this page the Columbia " ring- 
label," which encircles each skein of the genuine 
Columbia Yarns. 



In justice to yourself and to the manufacturers you should 
see that this label is on the yarn you receive, if you ask for 
Columbia. 



Besides the " ring-label," we illustrate the Columbia 
carton — showing how the yarn is packed. 



The system of packing and inspecting Columbia Yarns is 
very thorough and very strict. You will find their excellence 
consistent through the greatest number of packages.

THESE ARE THE FINEST SILKS FOR EMBROIDERY— 

Finest both in Quality of Fibre and in Stability of Color 



J. Pearsall O Co.*s 

Filo-Floss 

This combines the lustre of Floss 
Silk with the devisibility of Filo- 
selle. It is very brilliant — requires 
a bit of extra care in using, but 
well repays it. The colors are 
absolutely indelible. They are the 
product of the Eastern Unfading 
Dyes — different from modern dyes 
and akin to those colors found in 
the marvelously preserved ancient 
Oriental, Italian, and Spanish 
needlework. Filo - Floss will not 
fade from any amount of exposure 
to light, nor from washing. The 
colors are virtually the same in gas- 
light and in daylight. 

These dyes used by James Pearsall 
& Co. only. 

Unfading' 

Eastern 

Dyes 



PearsalTs 

"Mallard" 

Twisted-Floss 

Effective for every kind of needle- 
work, whether on silk, cloth or 
linen. Larger and therefore easier 
to work than the Filo-Floss, it is 
especially adapted for covering 
larger surfaces. It does not need 
splitting before use. All the colors 
wall stand soap and boiling water, 
and nearly all are fast to light. 

The trade-mark "Mallard" on 
every band and skein.

^^ O S T of the finest ecclesiastical embroidery is done in 
Pearsall's Silks colored with the Eastern Unfading 
Dyes. Letters are constantly received testifying that 
Altar-Cloths, Pulpit Hangings, Frontals, etc., embroi- 
dered with these silks remain the same in color after years 
of exposure, sometimes in damp churches, ofttimes in positions 
where they get the full glare of light.
